Previously on the Disney+ series Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Peter Parker (Hudson Thames) had a tough battle with Mac Gargan (Jonathan Medina) after Gargan showed up in his Scorpion suit to the 110th Street Gang’s hideout. Lonnie Lincoln’s (Eugene Byrd) brother Andre tells Pearl Pangan (Cathy Ang) about Lonnie’s troubles. She goes to the hideout and confronts him about it. We also saw Nico (Grace Song) and Harry Osborn (Zeno Robinson) get back on good terms after he apologized to her and let Nico drive his car for the first time.
The next episode starts with Peter waking up in a hospital bed after having surgery at Oscorp. Peter is ready to catch Otto Octavius (Hugh Dancy), but cannot because his suit is completely destroyed. Peter begins to leave the room with a cast on until he hears a scream from the lab. Turns out, it’s just his fellow interns, screaming out of excitement. Dr. Carla Conners (Zehra Fazal) asks if he’s okay; the rumor is that he was mugged. He apologizes for being absent during their presentation.
When Peter gets home, Aunt May (Kari Wahlgren) notices his injuries. He tells her he’s scared to tell the truth of what happened and she promises to be patient with him.
Next, we see Octavius doing research. While he’s talking to one of his assistants, he gets ambushed by the SWAT team. They shoot at his traps, but all fall to the ground as something hits them. Otto starts to escape until he opens the door to find Thaddeus Ross (Travis Willingham) and the rest of his team accompanied by Iron Man.
Later, Peter stops by Pearl’s to study together and work on their science project. Lonnie visits to check up on her. He apologizes for the night Gargan showed up. Peter eavesdrops on the conversation. Pearl tells him that if he goes back to the hideout, she wants nothing to do with him. When Lonnie leaves, Peter comes up from behind him, begging him not to go back to the 110th Street gang. Lonnie tells him no, asking him to leave him alone.
Peter goes to Oscorp and finds Harry and Norman in his (Norman) office. Norman encourages Peter that, “With great power, comes great respect.”
The 110th Street gang talks to a guy, Chameleon, who knows about Gargan and his Scorpion identity. He tells them that Octavius is most likely the one who created the suit for Gargan.
At the end of the episode, Harry and Peter are hanging out in Norman’s office as they get a notification that a crime is happening in the city. Peter groans about not having a suit, so Harry shows him his creation. It’s just like Peter wanted.
Overall, this episode wasn’t filled with more action, but it was still good. Everyone is getting closer to stopping/finding Octavius and Gargan. What will happen now that Peter is fully recovered and the 110th Street gang is one step ahead of getting Gargan?
